Summary: This article analyses the new powers on contracts that the 2006 Catalan Statute of Autonomy has given to the Catalan government. In this sense, the article starts by stating that the Statute has certainly enlarged the scope of powers both from a material perspective (since it does add exclusive powers to the already existing shared powers), and from a substantive perspective (since the powers in contracting not only cover contracting of the Catalan Public Administration but also that of the local authorities in Catalonia). Then, the article turns to examine the framework law on Public Contracs issued by the Spanish Parliament in 2007 (Ley 30/2007, of 30th of October), and its consequences on the margin of legislative manoeuvre left to the Catalan government on the subject. The main argument sustained in this article is that the Spanish framework law on Public Contracts still allows the Catalan Autonomous Community with a margin of legislative action for passing a law on contracts of the Catalan public administration bodies, and that such a law could regulate some essential aspects such as the contracts' management organization; as some phases of the contracting process; and as, even more important, the e-contracts, aspect that, together with the European law, is one of the axes structuring the recent evolution of contract law.
